Nutritional Yeast and MSG

So I have read Red Star nutritional yeast is made at high temps so it yields glutamate....that is why some preffer frontier NY (low temp NY). I also read that most of the fortified and natural favor labels are good indicators of MSG. Really kind of creeps me out. Anyone else have more info on this? I understand the body naturally produces glutamate and needs it for the body but an excessive amount leads to health complications. Only 2-5 percent of people are sensitive to small amount of glutamate.

The claim that monosodium glutamate causes health problems has been debunked time and time again. There have not been any well controlled, conclusive studies that show links to health problems. I think it's a bunch of fear mongering hooey.
